The article presents a retrospective analysis on the issues of marriage in Kazakhstan.
The authors used the desk research method, as well as the analysis of studies conducted on the
topic of marriage in Kazakhstan for the period from 1991 to 2022.
The article analyzes marriage in the context of Central Asian countries (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan), which share a common past as part of the USSR, as well as a high
proportion of marriage in that period and its reduction in the future. The article considers the
Kazakhstani structure of marriage. The article also considers the ethnic aspect in the structure
of marriage, as well as changes in marriage in recent years. One of the key conclusions of the
article is that marriage in Kazakhstan is undergoing changes. These processes are influenced by a
complex of factors, including changes in the socio-economic and political spheres in Kazakhstan,
which caused unique demographic reactions in society. The authors also note the lack of research
in this area and this article contributes to the development of domestic research on marriage.
